Nurses call on Prime Minister Harper to meet premiers

The Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions is calling on the Premiers to champion another health accord and bring the federal government back to the table.

In a brief submitted back in April to the Premiers Health Care Innovation Working Group, the CFNU called on Premiers to work in partnership to ensure a culture of safe staffing in health care workplaces; make improvements in quality and access along the continuum of care; advance a national pharmacare plan; develop a plan of action to tackle the social determinants of health; and adopt a common position on increasing fiscal capacities of governments.
